AS562

AS562 is a long-standing ARIN-registered autonomous system number held by HP Inc. (org handle HPINC, registrant vCard "HP Inc.", registered address 1501 Page Mill Rd, Palo Alto, CA). ARIN RDAP's top-level autnum record shows a registration event dated 1990-01-01, making this one of the earliest 16-bit ASNs on record, with a last-changed event of 2024-02-22. The ASN is presently dormant in the global routing table: RIPEstat, CAIDA AS Rank, and the accompanying canonical fetch all agree it announces zero IPv4 and zero IPv6 prefixes today, with a CAIDA customer cone of one (itself), rank 79,459, and zero observed peers or upstreams. Historical BGP visibility exists, however — RIPEstat routing-status records a first-seen announcement of 192.136.32.0/23 on 2000-08-25 and a last-seen announcement of 187.109.35.0/24 on 2014-08-19, after which no further announcements were observed. No PeeringDB record exists for AS562 (verified live, HTTP 404), consistent with an enterprise/corporate end-user ASN rather than a transit or hosting network. No notable public abuse signal was found in a targeted search of threat-intel aggregators and NANOG archives as of 2026-07-11.

Country / RIR

US, ARIN [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/562

Allocated

1990-01-01 (ARIN RDAP autnum top-level "registration" event — a first-party RIR registry fact, recorded per project policy, not nulled); last changed 2024-02-22 [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/562 (corroborated independently by angles A2, A3, A4)

Org status

registry record status "active" per ARIN; note this is separate from routing activity — the ASN is unrouted/dormant even though the registry record itself is active [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/562

Abuse contacts

IPAdmin@hp.com — the role mailbox of the "HP Inc IP Admin" group POC (HIA8-ARIN); an individual staff mailbox also listed on that record is not reproduced here. Authoritative RIR = ARIN

Security/abuse context (NEUTRAL, DATED)

no notable public abuse signal found as of 2026-07-11 across general threat-intel aggregators (Spamhaus/AbuseIPDB-adjacent, threatfeeds.io) and NANOG/seclists archives; absence-of-evidence, not a clean-bill guarantee

Network & routing

Network type

enterprise/corporate end-user ASN (not a commercial ISP or transit/peering network); currently unrouted [Likely] — https://ipinfo.io/AS562, https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/562

Size / activity

dormant — 0 announced IPv4 prefixes, 0 announced IPv6 prefixes; customer cone = 1 ASN (itself), 0 prefixes, 0 addresses [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS562, https://asrank.caida.org/asns/562

Historical routing

first_seen 192.136.32.0/23 on 2000-08-25; last_seen 187.109.35.0/24 on 2014-08-19; no announcements observed since [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS562

Routing/peering

not currently announced; 0/327 v4 and 0/322 v6 RIS peers seeing it; CAIDA degree total 0 (customer 0, peer 0, provider 0); no PeeringDB record (verified 404) [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS562, https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/562

RPKI

not assessable — no prefixes currently announced, so there are no ROAs to validate; the RIPEstat RPKI tool was skipped because it requires an explicit prefix argument [Confirmed] — https://stat.ripe.net/AS562

AS rank / geo

CAIDA AS Rank 79,459; country ISO US (matches HP Inc. HQ in Palo Alto, CA); CAIDA lat/long not populated, no IXP presence data [Confirmed] — https://asrank.caida.org/asns/562

Related ASNs (unverified)

AS561, AS563, AS543 mentioned in passing in search snippets as other HP-associated ASNs; not independently RDAP-verified in this task — flag only, not authoritative [Unknown]

ASN / registrant

AS562, org HPINC, registrant "HP Inc." [Confirmed] — https://rdap.arin.net/registry/autnum/562

Historical operator (unconfirmed)

possibly 3Com Corporation prior to HP's 2010 acquisition of 3Com, per a single third-party company-history source; not independently corroborated via RDAP history [Likely, single-source] — https://www.company-histories.com/3Com-Corporation-Company-History.html
